Siakam ended with 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes during Friday's 126-104 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam looked like the only Indiana player who was trying to mount a comeback for prolonged stretches during the second half, and he was one of the top players for the Pacers in this 22-point defeat. This was Siakam's best scoring output of the series, but the fact that he's yet to reach the 20-point mark in the series -- and knowing he's failed to do that in five straight playoff contests -- should be a bit concerning for fantasy managers who continue to ride with Siakam in their lineups, particularly in DFS formats.

Siakam closed Tuesday's 120-119 win over the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 30 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam has been efficient in seven playoff games, shooting 53.7 percent from the field and 43.5 percent from beyond the arc. His usage and production are down a bit, however, as he's putting up 18.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 33.1 minutes.

Siakam registered 17 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 121-112 win over the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam had himself a somewhat quiet game, despite falling just two rebounds short of a double-double. While it wasn't a bad game by any means, Siakam will likely want to improve, especially if the Pacers are to advance beyond the second round. With that said, his teammates were able to step up on both ends of the floor, powering Indiana to an important Game 1 victory on the road.

Siakam closed with 10 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 overtime win over the Bucks in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
After scoring at least 24 points in the first three games of this series, Siakam scored a combined 22 points in his last two. He was pretty passive on offense, while Tyrese Haliburton, Aaron Nesmith and Myles Turner did most of the heavy lifting. Siakam had a tough matchup against Giannis Antetokounmpo to open the postseason, and now he'll have to contend with Evan Mobley in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.

Siakam ended Friday's 117-101 loss to the Bucks in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 28 points (12-19 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 31 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The Pacers had a rough showing offensively as a team, but Siakam did everything in his power to keep the team alive despite the 16-point defeat. The star forward has been extremely consistent in the series and has scored at least 24 points in each of the three games so far while shooting at least 50 percent from the field in each contest. He should remain a key offensive contributor for Indiana in Game 4 on Sunday.

Siakam finished Tuesday's 123-115 victory over the Bucks in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 24 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals in 34 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam led the way for Indiana in Game 2 to help the Pacers take a commanding 2-0 series lead, pacing all players in scoring, rebounds and steals in a double-double showcase. Siakam posted his first double-double of the series against Milwaukee, and he enters Game 3 averaging 24.5 points and 9.0 rebounds per game.

Siakam amassed 25 points (10-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 117-98 victory over the Bucks in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran forward led the Pacers in scoring on the afternoon as they grabbed an early lead in the first-round series. Siakam didn't deliver many ceiling games down the stretch during the regular season, scoring more than 20 points in only three of his last 10 appearances including Saturday, but he did score in double digits in all 10 while averaging 16.0 points, 6.2 boards, 3.1 assists, 1.1 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks, giving him a reliable fantasy floor.

Siakam (elbow) is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam missed three of the final five games of the regular season while managing a right elbow injury, but he's been cleared to play Saturday. He finished the 2024-25 regular season averaging 20.2 points on 51.9 percent shooting (including a career-best 38.9 percent from three on 5.2 3PA/G), 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals over 32.7 minutes per game.

Siakam, who missed Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to right elbow injury management, is expected to be ready for Saturday's Game 1 against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam was initially listed as available for Sunday's game, but the Pacers opted to rest him and several others to stay fresh for the postseason. Siakam ended the regular season with averages of 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game.

Siakam has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to right elbow injury management.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam was initially listed as available for Sunday's game, but the Pacers flipped his status and have decided to rest the star forward, which makes sense given that the Pacers have already secured a spot in the playoffs. Siakam will end the season with averages of 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game. In his absence, Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker should see more minutes Sunday.
